Cross my heart

“Best gift ever! That’s me!”

  “You truly are! Even better then the violin I got last year.”

[Need travel money to Hoenn before winter]

  He wasn’t going to get anything like that, and Shinri knew it. He himself didn’t have much on him, but he tosses a few dollars in the cup and pulls out his violin, starting to softly play in hope it’ll get more people to pay attention and give a little too.

“Just say fuck, Shinri.”

  “oohh…” a long pause. “well, at least this lil one is cute!” it holds her up, and the snake lets out a theatrical little squeak. snake grandchildren are the best kind of grandchildren. the best.

 “it does!!” an excited gasp. it picks her up and laughs. “might you have grandkids already? i mean… didn’t allen…” it trails off.

  “Oh?” Eyebrows raise in curiosity at the Snivy, bending down to the Grass-types height. “Reshiram, you had not told me you had made a new friend.”

the snivy gives a small, curious squeak. who’s this?

  "Hello there."
